Greenock Creek Apricot Block Shiraz 2021

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Vegan-friendly

  "Named after an old orchard that was removed and planted out to shiraz in 1995, the Apricot block, for my schnoz at least, quite often presents as one of the broodier offerings in the Greenock Creek quiver. Characters of blackberry and cherry,...

Thousand Candles Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "Blackcurrant, blackberry, tobacco, floral, subtle roasted red capsicum, just a little cedar/vanilla oak. It’s dense, ripe dark fruit with something of an earthy/tobacco/coffee ground bass, plush silty tannin, balanced acidity, and a long...

Grosset Springvale Riesling 2023

Region: SA- Clare Valley
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "Well, seriously, the 2023 Grosset Rieslings are wonderful!   This has you at hello. It’s structured and a touch reserved but there’s decent flavour both at the outset and throughout and then the finish, well, it saves its best...

Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

Greenock Creek Alices Shiraz 2021

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Vegan-friendly

  "Greenock Creek wines always present themselves as intensely concentrated examples of their particular slice of the western Barossa. Initially, there is a quick blast of blackberry pastille in this year's release, which gives way to opulent...

Massolino Barolo 2019

Region: Italy - Barolo
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "Pure, yet savory, with a stony, mineral punch to the orange peel, strawberries and dried herbs. I love the clarity and the tautness on the palate, with elegant but gutsy flavors of minerals and fruit, together with firm tannins that show Barolo...

Bondar Wines Vestige Grenache 2021

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "A rare beast, and likely a one off. A 30 dozen production from a 100 year old patch of Grenache in the McLaren Flat.  Rich, dark raspberry, nutty, some gum leaf and mint perfume, but so much power here. It’s distinctly minty and gum...

Clos Clare Riesling 2023

Region: SA- Clare Valley

Attwoods Glenlyon Estate Pinot Noir 2020

Region: VIC- Macedon Ranges
Vegan-friendly

  "A succulent, fresh-feeling expression here, lots of tart and fresh cherry juice, fine, silty tannins, a good dose of leafy herbs and some saline mineral notes in the mix albeit a little fog of smokiness sits over all of that. Very well put...

Torbreck Juveniles Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2022

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Vegan-friendly

  "A perennial favourite, Grenache from old vines shows its ability to exhibit lifted florals, juicy red fruit characters such as wild red cherry, pomegranate and red currant along with wild Provençal herbs in a bouquet-garni. The addition...

SC Pannell No220 Grenache 2022

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

Giant Steps Wombat Creek Pinot Noir 2022

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley
Vegan-friendly

  "This is pretty wild, pretty exotic, flowers and herbs flying. Cranberry, strawberry and red cherry with twig and herb notes. The finish here is so dry, with so much crunch and grip, that I’ve underlined the words ‘crackle and...

Giant Steps Fatal Shore Pinot Noir 2022

Region: TAS (Tasmania)
Vegan-friendly

Sons of Eden Remus Shiraz 2020
